China Glaze Halloween 2010: Mummy May I

Mummy May I is one of three perfectly designed polishes for the Halloween season from China Glaze. This is part of the Awakening set which also includes their Fast Forward top coat. This not quite black base with massive bright violet foil glitter is shown using 2 coats.

Above & Below: The top photo was taken with a flash, while the bottom photo was taken outdoors under cloudy skies.

Below: Will you look at the amount of glitter in there? I love how it seems to change from a violet, to a near fuchsia, to a bright lavender.

This 3 piece set from China Glaze is perfect for Halloween, from the shades to the names, it fulfills all aspects of one of my favorite holidays. The glitter applies evenly, but as you can see from the bottle, I imagine it would be even denser on the nail if I'd taken more time shaking it up. No complaints from me though. It's extremely pigmented, packed with glitter, and doesn't limit itself to a strictly Halloween polish. After I removed it, I wish I would've thought to put a matte top coat over it for a different look.

This is a gorgoeus color, love the photo swatch taken outdoors with cloudy skies, LOL You can see all the glitter. I would definitely try it with a matte finish, like OPI's Matte nail Envy or one of the others Like Essie's Matte or what ever your favorite Matte is.

Just a beautiful polish on such gorgoeus nails, and ready for October's Halloween. Love the little ghosts and witches on the swatches, too cute.
